Cowden,s Scheme Pobs Up.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, has
apparently taken up Capt. Cowden's scheme
to solve the Mississippi river problem by
cutting a canal into Lake Borgne, and thus
providing an outlet into the Mississippi
sound. The Senator may not be an EN-
thusiastic supporter of the scheme, but the
fact that he has introduced into Congress
bill making an appropriation for it would
seem to justify the statement that he be-
lieves that it is a good thing, and has, there
fore, determined to advocate it,
Several Congresses have gotten tired of
Capt. Cowden and his scheme. For about
tn years III indefatigable Cactair has been
a familiar figure in the Hobbies of the Capt.
t. L and the average Cong ~essman who
knows him would rather have touch of
the govt than to be forced to listen to him
explain the merits Of his scheme.
As far as the public knows no engineer
approves the scheme, and what the Captain
knows about it relates probably to the APP
preparation which he hopes to get rather
than TO the effect which canal to Lake
Borgne would have upon the river.
A few years ago there was a crevasSe in
Cfle leVee dDONo NeW OIleullS Known as
Bonnie Carrie. 1t admitted more water into
Lake Ponchartrain, and thence into Missis-
sippi Sound, than any canal which Capt
Cowden would likely build to Lake Borgne
if his scheme should be approved by Con
gress. The crevasse, however, didn't pre-
vent the river from escaping from its banks
in times of freshets, and it didn't benefit the
r.iva,.'s channel and IL isn't prOhahle that
an outlet into Lake Borgne would benefit
anybody but those who got the contract
for digging the canal from the river to the
lake. The Captains scheme should be per-
mitted to be forgotten.

A Firm Believer in His State.
From the Washington Critic.

Congressman Dougherty, of Florida, IS firm
believer in the superior ATTRACTIONS of his State,
as the following true story will testify: On one
occasion a Massachusetts, man was his guest,
and the Congressman took him around, show
ing him the charms nature had so lavishly be-
slowed upon the favored section.
See, said Col. Dougherty, rapturously, the
beautiful flowers, the luscious fruits, the soft
blue sky the birds of brilliant plumage, the
gentle undulations of the land
''Oh, yes, | see" replied the practical
Yankee, slapping his face and hands, Il see, but
these Internal mosquitoes ruin the prospect"
why, my dear sir" eXpostulated Dough-
erty. there are no mosquitoes here: You are
totally mistaken. You only think So"
The visitor wouldn't be persuaded, however,
and after an argument, emphasized by slaps, he
hosU would take off all his clothes and lie on
his face in the sand for ten minutes and not be
disturbed by the mosquitoes, nor show the
slightest sign of discomfort.
The Congressman peeled down TO the skin,
Frustrated himself, and the visitor stood over
him holding a watchwith one hand and fighting
the pests with the other.
For five six, seven minutes Dougherty lay
there. covered with nnosquitoes, but betraying
not the slightest emotion The visitor by this
time thought he was going to lose his fifty,
and with great sagaeity, took a sun glass from
his pocket and focused the rays on the Con
CHEESEMAN'S back. For quarter of a minute
Dougherty never fnched, then he began to
squrm. The Yankee kept perfectly still In
threequarters of minute Dougherty was con
torting like man in agony, and stretching back
one hand appealinglyto the visitor he called

The Jacksonville Middle.

The newly elected officials of Jacksonville
have got their certificates of election but
they are not sure that they are going to get
the offices to which they were elected. The
opinion is strong that the city had no au-
thority to hold an election, and the question
whether it had or not will doubtless be pre-
sented to the Supreme Court of the Stat It
once in the shape of an effort by the newly
elected officials to get possession of the
offices
The Supreme Court will probably pass
upon the question at the earliest possible
moment, in order that the city may not suf-
fer to any great extent from the existing
uncertainty as to who her lawful authorities
are, or whether, in fact, she ha I've any author
tiles. If it isdeclared that the newly elected
officers have no right to the offices, the ques-
tion may arise whether the old officers have
a right to retain Office until their lawful
successors are qualified, or whether the
offices being vacant will have to be filled by
the Governor. The situation is certainly a
rather complicated one.

Limiting Immigration.


The prospect that this Congress will regu-
late immigration to this country is very
promising. Both political parties are in
favor of legislation of that kind. They
have so expressed themselves in their re-
spective platforms and it is certain that
they express public sentiment with regard
to the matter
There is no intention of shutting the
doors of the alton Against immigrants who
are healthy, capable of taking care of them
selves and disposed to respect the laws. The
purpose is to keep out of the country pau
pers, criminals, cripples and agtators who
want to overthrow our institutions and
establish society in accordance with some
crude notions of their own.
The measures which Senators Morrill, and
Reagan, the former n Republican and the
latter Democrat, have introduced into the
Senate to regulate immigration will doubt
less be approved in the main. When they
are discussed it will become apparent
wherein they can be improved. 1t may be
deemed advisable to make very stringent
regulations with regard to Anarchists. They
appear to be increasing in number, and
they do not make desirable citizens. They
are not only troublesome, but dangerous.
The experience that was had with those at
Chicago isn't of kind that would be pleas
ant to have repeated there or in any other
part of the country. As Anarchists are not
producers, but destroyers of what others
have produced, their presence is objection
able, and they should not be received.
The nation can assimilate good citizens of
foreign birth, but not bad ones. 1t will
continue to welcome those who are prepared
to put their adopted before their native
country, but it owes it to itself not to en-
danger the prosperity and happiness of those
who are loyal to it, and who are working
honestly and earnestly to promote the pros
perity of its institutions.
1t will be rather troublesome OF course
to keep out of the country all of those who
are not wanted. A rigid system of inspec
ton will have to be adopted and enforced in
foreign as well as in home ports The trans
portation companies will have to be held
responsible for bringing to the country any
who are prohibited by law from coming.
We are in position to pick our company,
and ii we don't do it the fault is our own.
There are other immigrants who should
not be admitted to our shores They are those
who come from localities in which infec-
tious and contagious diseases are prevailing.
Many hundreds have come to this country
this year from places where cholera was ep-
i6emIc. They were the source of a great
deal of trouble and expense. We shall be
fortunate if they don't plant the cholera
here. There was no good reason why they
should have been permitted to land. They
are not worth the risk that has been taken
in their behalf. Congress should place au-
thority somewhere, even if it does not pass
an immigration bill, to prevent ships convey
ing pestilence from entering our harbors.

The blame for Mr.. Blaines defeat has
often been laid ON DR.. Burchard, and it may
be that the Doctor served his country
good turn by influencing few votes; but
the New York Evening Post has been in
curing around and states that nobody has
ever turned up who claimed that his vote
was changed by DR.. Burchard's utterances.
The Post says that the Blaine managers in
New York paid John j. O'Brien large
sum of money to secure tho Irish Catholic
vote. O'Brien got good deal of this vote,
but used too much Of the money ON himself,
and a. a consequence the Irish Catholics
failed to materialize as fully as was conf
IDENTIFY expected. The Republicans were
so astounded that for while they could not
hit upon an excuse for their defeat, bat
finally agreed TO give the honor of that
event to DR.. Burchard, thinking that he
would make good scapegoat

The Adjutant Generals Recommends


The Savannah Volunteer Guards have
been very prompt in approving the recon-
mendation of the Adjutant General OF the
army that army officers shall be detailed
every winter to instruct volunteer forces
throughout the country. They want the
Congressman from this State to use their in
fuence to secure the legislation that is
necessary to give effect to the recommends
ton.
1t is probable that other volunteer organ
cations throughout this State will follow
the lead of the Guards in this matter. The
Adjutant Generals recommendation is GER
tainly a good one. If army officers were
detailed for two or three months each year
to instruct volunteer military organizations
in different parts of the country, the inter
est in such organizations would be much
greater than it is, and their efficiency would
be greatly increased.
The army officers could have no objection
to such work The most of them doubtless
would rather like it than otherwise. 1t
would bring them in contact with agreea-
BILE people, and would be relief from the
monotony of their lives IN the cases of some
of them.
The military organizations doubtless
would gladly welcome instructors from the
regular army, and would exert themselves
to profit by their instruction. There would
be at once revival of the military spirit,
and prize drills would occur more fire.
quently than they now do.
There is another thing in connection with
this subject that is worth considering. 1t
is that if the Adjutant- Generals recommen-
datior is adopted Congress will take more
interest in the militia, and will, in all prob
ability, make more liberal appropriations
for its support In many of the States the
volunteer companies get very little assist
ance, and the annual appropriation by Con-
gress for the militia is remarkably small.
The members of the volunteer forces have
to almost wholly bear their own expenses.
This is unjust. The national government
and the State governments ought 10 be more
liberal in providing support for the militia
than they are. More help eau be expected
from the national government, however,
if army officers become instructors of vol
unteer forces.

Much Needed "Don'ts" for women.

pinned on your back or a streak of smut on your
nose.
Again, if you are stared at don't fiounce and
frown; it don't do any good and makes you con-
spicuous. Besides you are probably imagining
the attention anyway
Don't wear a hustle as big a bay window,

Don't think all the men you know are in love
with you, and that only various secondary mo-
tives restrain most Of them from declaring their
passion. 1t is likely that very few of those that
do declare it tell the truth.
Don't run down prettier women to men. Your
motives are certain to be impugned.
Don't estimate yourself by the most extrava.

inevitably great deal more from the people
that admire you than from that perhaps equally
large constituency that don't.
